Author Topic: Problem with the ATOM Warning Servers?? (Read 16098 times)

I have currently warnings that expired at 8:45 that are still showing as current. I have re ran the fetch several times above it's normal 3 minute interval and they still seem to not want to go away. Anybody else get warnings this evening in their warn area that is experiencing this? Or is it just related to me?

I have had no troubles with the script since the url change awhile back, it just sits there and pulls warnings, watches and advisories for several counties surrounding me without a hitch.

Just thought I would check in and poll the census about this anomaly

Regards,

Wayne

My CWA is completely offline, radar and all... So I cannot offer anything other than to say make sure your local NWS office is actually online and updating.

W Thomas · « **Reply #2 on:** May 12, 2011, 12:40:51 AM »

It was earlier... Will definitely check now and make sure.

Thanks for the info!

Nothing has updated on the NWS side of things since yesterday at 8:10 EDT.

[edited] They are now working as of 6:15am EST

Maybe another of their " Growing Pains" for the new system making itself known

Should be a robust system once they get the bugs worked out!

W Thomas · « **Reply #5 on:** May 12, 2011, 02:53:30 PM »

The system seems to be stable so far today.Hopefully they have found the prob

Feeds are now down in Oklahoma!

Well Dang!! I have a current warning and a watch in my warn areas so I can't say for sure what it would do if these weren't current.
I wonder are they making changes to the system of does it plain and simple break down often

Sometime during the morning hours they apparently got it up and running because my system was showing the correct data earlier and these warnings and watches came up as they should.

Same scenario today... and this afternoon...... Warning triggered in close to real time but they don't seem to go away when they are set to expire. I have even noticed the warnings stay active longer than they are supposed after a NWR alert on my radio equipment also. Must be some sort of programming error somewhere.

Anybody else noticing this??

Right on schedule.

Does seem to break about this time nightly lately

I may be one of the fortunate ones though.. I do seem to get the products for the most part but they like it so well they don't want to leave $\:D/$

I am noticing this issue right now on my site. It also happened last night. Is anyone noticing that things stopped updating?

It always happens around 8:15PM EST time too.

W Thomas · « **Reply #12 on:** May 17, 2011, 09:32:48 PM »

I show my last update at 9:27Pm . But I have no warnings, watches or advisories here currently. as we're under the influence f a strong pressure gradient that is keeping my area away from what you are getting.

For some reason it does seem around the 8-8:30 time frame it happens.

Hope it gets repaired soon!

sam2004gp · « **Reply #13 on:** May 17, 2011, 09:41:32 PM »

You can see mine are stuck at 8:15 here at http://www.mountcrawfordweather.org/warnings.php5

I have done a manual refresh a number of times and still the same thing.

Here is the NWS link for the alerts.

Why the smiley face? I am confused.

It's been easy to laugh at the NWS lately.
Since the ATOM feed introduction, it's getting to be a joke.

sam2004gp · « **Reply #17 on:** May 17, 2011, 10:22:37 PM »

Yes, I will agree with you on that.

W Thomas · « **Reply #18 on:** May 17, 2011, 10:27:57 PM »

Me too

What they said was supposed to be a better way has turned out to be almost a flop..LOL!

I totally agree. I would prefer that they trashcaned the Atom feeds and brought back the RSS feeds. Anyway, it took 4 emails to NWS before I finally got a reply but, they are aware of the problem which has been going on for about a week now, the process stops at about 8:00 pm EDT and starts back up at around 6:00 am EDT. I only hope they find the problem and get it fixed soon.

sam2004gp · « **Reply #20 on:** May 18, 2011, 05:27:17 AM »

It's 5:30 am and they are still stuck from last night. It should be interesting to see if it comes back online/fixes itself after 6:00 as you guys mentioned.

In the last 10 minutes, around 6:10am EDT, the NWS page Sam uses has been updated... but the page shows that it was last updated at 3:45am EDT.

I'm betting that there's a light switch involved here somewhere.

sam2004gp · « **Reply #22 on:** May 18, 2011, 06:45:37 AM »

Yep Kray, Thanks. Sure enough my warnings are working again after 6:00 am.

http://www.mountcrawfordweather.org/warnings.php5

The light switch theory is good one too.

W Thomas · « **Reply #23 on:** May 18, 2011, 11:51:45 AM »

Sure sounds like somebody shuts down the system when they leave their shift

Mine was showing normal updates but I didn't have any warnings or advisories to check it on but normally when I do it does the same as Sam's does..sometime in the early morning hours they clear after being expired for hours. I have also noticed the warning light on my weather radio staying on as well when this happens which is strange.. Kevin's light switch theory is as they say on Myth Busters ..Plausible $\:D/$

sam2004gp · « **Reply #24 on:** May 18, 2011, 03:01:09 PM »

With our current pattern, looks like it will most likely get stuck again tonight.

Hey Harryca, what email address or whom did you contact? I would like to send them a note of complaint, and perhaps nudge them into fixing this issue.
